Upward

Upward, a photo by Tony DeSantis Photography (Out to Lunch) on Flickr.

Going through some old photos, I picked this one to process.
This is a shot in Downtown San Francisco of the City Hall dome. This really caught my attention because of the blue skies and wisps of clouds. The dome really stood out.

>This is an HDR, 1 shot processed with a -1, 0, +1 exposures.
>Photomatix Detail Enhancer
>Topaz InFocus for sharpening
>Topaz Denoise for the noise in the sky
>Nik Color Efex Pro 3.0 Pro Contrast for Contrast and Color Cast
>Adjustment Layers Levels for sky
>Adjustment Layer Levels for Dome
>Adjustment Layer Hue/Saturation to slightly remove over saturation
>High Pass Sharpening
>Cropped, sized and framed for processing

I also decided to go with a more Pano Cropping and offsetting the dome to give this a different look. I did try a more centering cropping but it really didn't stand out enough for me. This cropping also gave the attention the sky that I thought was needed.
